Twenty-five-year-old Feng Ruizhe is a young man working in an old video store in Luliang City. He is taciturn and has nothing. His only relative is his elderly grandmother. He thought his life was like this.
Until that rainy day, a soaked girl rushed into his shop.
Xu Xinyue, a student in the Department of Fashion Design, had fear in her eyes and scars on her body. She is avoiding the pursuit of one person - her once gentle but now violent ex-boyfriend Jiang Chaoyang. Ruizhe gave her a towel and said "no". From then on, the fate of the two people was entangled.
Every night, they meet at the convenience store window. A bowl of instant noodles, an old song, and a few insignificant words. It was a time when two broken souls came close to each other. But the storm will eventually come. At Jiang Chaoyang's birthday party, Xinyue was forced into a desperate situation and made a big mistake. At the critical moment, Ruizhe made a choice——
He pushed her out the door and kneeled in a pool of blood.
"Go quickly."
Those two words were her obsession for the next eleven years.
He was sentenced to fifteen years. She began writing letters, one every two weeks, without stopping. Two hundred and eighty-six letters, two hundred and eighty-six sentences of "I will wait for you." He held the letter close to his chest inside the high wall and survived more than three thousand days and nights.
"I lost weight," she said.
"Old," he said.
Then they hug.
This is a story about lies - he used a lie to exchange for her lifelong freedom.
This is a story about waiting - she spent eleven years waiting for him to come home alone.
This is a story about sunflowers - whether there is sunlight or not, they always grow in the direction of light.
